        $ rpm -qi ccache

        Description :
        ccache is a compiler cache.  It acts as a caching pre-processor to
        C/C++ compilers, using the -E compiler switch and a hash to detect
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        when a compilation can be satisfied from cache.  This often results in
        a 5 to 10 times speedup in common compilations.
        
ccache doesn't support Fortran?

None of the files in the ccache RPM appear to be related to Fortran in
any way.
